A security vulnerability in the Mozilla (see mozilla(1)) js_dtoa() function may cause the Mozilla application to crash if a user views a web page, mail message, or newsgroup message when certain plugins are installed. The ability of a remote user who creates such a web page, mail message, or newsgroup post to cause the Mozilla application to crash is a type of Denial of Service.
